Scarlet tried to look shocked, and failed. "I-i-i-i'll hv ya kno that when i ws in STOMP, i cud easily hld ma drnk. I hvnt hd a drk in months, but i nvr lost mu---" Scarlet was waved his wings and forehoof around... Then slipped and fell flat on his face! Popping back up with too much speed...

They just announced their best operating profit margin ever. The cost cutting is actually working.

Nope. I don't know who this lady is.

Yo. Lady who keeps barging into my back yard to fetch a cat. You do not know what you're doing to me when my first waking thought of the day is that there's a humanoid shape on the other side of my window.

And they've got a CEO who claims he wants to see brand teams pounce on those random ideas if they think there's enough demand. MTO lets them skip the step of figuring out how many units they should make.

This strikes me as an additional outlet. They want to reserve Commanders and Titans for absolute sure fire sellers, but the sales they get from more niche characters are significant enough that they don't want to give those up. Somebody wanted Black Zarak, but not enough for it to be a success...

I've done it.

It is my job to not be careful what I wish for.

High Tide could work if Takara gives the assignment to one of their old Brave designers. Or one of the Diacloen Reboot guys if they can adapt to working on a budget.

I could see that. They expect us to use the Earthrise trailer, so they maintained compatibility with the trailer's detachable bits.

Pretend I didn't get clobbered by more surprise estate bs this week and you see all sorts of scenery in the last panel. It really was a long walk. I was five. My legs weren't very long.

I'll take anything over stupid rubbery stacks that are already warped in the box.

Maybe a really elaborate Springer retool.

If I can go one whole week without any more surprise estate bills I'm buying one.

It does sound like Cocks is making progress with Hasbro's cash flows. I dislike some of his methods but he may actually know what he's doing.

If the line ends because they complete the cast, that is a sign of successful brand management, not doom.

The amount of damage done by entertainment executives operating entirely on coke-fueled guesswork is incalculable.

I wouldn't count on it. It's just pointless to predict anything farther out than that, so they're not. And if Studio Series 86 does end in 2026, that just leaves room for a newly branded 40th anniversary TFTM line. It sounds to me like they're going to keep doing what they've been doing, but...

Are you sure about the main line? Any kids who wanted to build their collection around the Prime Changers (which did punch above their weight, for sure) still cannot complete the tiny main cast. They have to fill in the gaps with the various gimmicky bricks that clearly don't match (which will...
